what do you think?
Can you help me?
Can you give me a pill?
To make me see the world the way you Americans see the world?
Can a pill help me understand lraq,
or Darfur, or even New Orleans?
Don't be drawn in by his madness, doctor.
He is Russian.
He needs to argue like he needs to breathe.
All I am saying is that civilization crumbles whenever we need it most.
In the right situation...
...we are all capable of the most terrible crimes.
To imagine a world where this was not so...
...where every crisis did not result in new atrocities...
...where every newspaper is not full of war and violence...
Well, this is to imagine a world where human beings cease to be human.
While I'll give you that we still retain some basic animal instincts...
...you must admit we're not the same animal
we were a few thousand years ago.
- True.
- Read Piaget or Kohlberg...
...or Maslow, Graves, Wilber,
and you'll see we're still evolving.
Our consciousness is changing.
Five hundred years ago, postmodern feminists didn't exist...
...yet one sits right beside you today.
While that fact may not undo all the terrible
things that have been done in this world...
...at least it gives me reason to believe
one day things may be different.
- Thank you, doctor.
- You're welcome, ambassador.
Excellent.
Ben, of all the women you've brought into our home...
...this is the one we permit you to marry.
Hey, now, look.
I've been watching the way you look at each other.
- Oh, so beautiful and smart.
- You see, this is what happens.
They say what they like in this household,
and then they claim diplomatic immunity.
- Think of the children you could have.
- Enough.  Enough.
I had a terrific time.
Your friends are wonderful.
Well, thank you for being my date.
And for what you said tonight.
What?
No, I can't do this.
No.  That's...
But that's...But that's fine.
I'm sorry...
...but I really need us to stay what we are.
You're my best friend, and I can't lose that.
Hey.
Look, I...
I just took advantage of a drunk woman, and I'm sorry.
- Now, can you walk?
- Hey!
I can.
Hey.
Carol Bennell?
I'm sorry to bother you so late.
I need to ask you a few questions for the Census Department.
We're doing a census of your district this month.
Not the extended paper census,
but a quick door-to-door version to update our records.
- At this time of night?
- Deadline.
We're working all night now.
You're my last house.
I saw your light.
I came a few times.
Listen, let me get that.
And then you can ask me through the door.
Hey!
We're sorry.  All circuits are busy.
Please hang up and try your call again.
Hey, Ben.
It's me.
I just...somebody just scared the shit out of me.
Hey.  Morning.
Hey.
- What did the police say?
- Not that much.
- Carol, you're not going to work.
- I've got back-to-backs all day.
At least stay and have some breakfast.
I cooked pancakes.
What?
The thawing in tension between Washington and Tehran...
...over the enrichment of nuclear fueI was one of the first steps...
...by the U.S. to relax years...
Morning, Mom.
On the way to school.
I still miss you.
Love you.  Bye.
Sorry I'm late.
Courtney Jones cancelled.
So did Chris Cook.
What about Wendy Lenk?
I haven't heard from her.
Maybe it's that flu going around.
I'll call her.
Mr. Lenk, this is Dr. Bennell.
I was hoping I could speak with your wife.
This is her cell phone I'm calling.
She's asleep right now.
Is everything all right, Mr. Lenk?
Everything's fine, better than it's been in a long time.
Wendy's fine now.
I'll give her the message you called, and she'll tell you herself.
- Mr. Lenk?
- Yes?
If I don't hear from your wife soon, I will be calling back.
Do you understand what I'm say?
You'll hear from her by the end of the day.
It's my husband.
Ben, they can't all be psychotic.
What if what they're saying is real?
Have you noticed anything?
I have.
What?
He seems a little disconnected.
- Hey, Carly.
